The Importance of Listening - When, and why

R.

Welcome back to another blog post folks.

Listening. It's something we do every day, without really acknowledging it or appreciating it. It's something we are so used to that when we lose it, instant regret flushes through our systems. Hence, since Pn Monica gave us this topic this week, let's talk about the importance of listening.

Listening is a mean to understand what a person or an object is trying to convey with audio signals. Just like how an animal has mating calls and roars, humans have languages, which, without doubt, makes thing easier to understand. For humans, at least.

So, when do we listen?

Just like everything else, this depends on the situation of course. Most of the time, in class, you should be listening to whatever your teachers are teaching, be it English, Malay, Chinese or Physics, Chemistry or Biology. Listening is key when learning as teachers will provide an insight to said topics, allowing a better understanding of the topics, and thus enabling you to score during an actual test. Besides, listening is also important to take in important details, such as experiences from your parents so you can cope better with the future, or bits of advice from reputable sources, e.g. parents, teachers and elders.

Occasionally, listening can bring about the downfall of a person. Say, you have an ambition, an ambition so ambitious so much so that people look down on you and feed your negative opinions. Right now, if you listen to those negative opinions and let it affect you, welp, there goes your confidence and the rest of your ambitious ambition. That's why listening has it times.

Listening is an important aspect of our lives, be it beneficial or destructive. Sometimes, its better to lend your ears to someone, while other times its better to hear no evil.

That's all for this week's blog post, have a nice weekend.

Cheers,
Chua.

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...

My English Blog

R. Welcome back to another blog post folks. Today, we're going to talk about... scrolls Whatsapp ... give me a minute...  Huh.  My feelings on the blog and whether it has benefited me thus far. So let's talk about that. Ah... An English Block of Word . Not the best name I came out with, but it's still quite creative. I started this blog last year January on the 6th. At first when I came about the idea of writing a blog, actually no, it wasn't an idea, it was a weekly homework given by our dear teacher Pn Monica, with different topics every week. Honestly, when I first got the assignment to write a blog as homework, I was kind of amazed. Integration of the usage of the Internet and it's on my favourite subject? Score. Of course, this wasn't the first time I started the blog, my third time, in fact, the last two being some websites to share my own written fictional stories to my friends. Given a platform, and a focus to write on makes everything much easier ...

Isolation

S. Welcome back to another blog post folks, to preface this, this blog is going to be a long one, so um leave now if you don't like that. Also, if anyone is here just to see what topic it is for this week... uhm, don't. Because I chose to do a free topic here and did my literature essay in my literature book. So yeah, let's begin. Homo Sapiens . The only species from the genus Homo still exists. Of course, we have half-Neanderthals living around the world, but for the sake of this blog post, let's just say that we only have Homo Sapiens  around, okay? Once upon a time on Earth, there are several species from the genus Homo , 15, in fact, so far. Yet, as of today, 2019, we only know of one that successfully persisted through several wars and famine, disasters and conflicts, the Homo Sapiens . We built civilization from the ground up, stemming from rivers of the world, then conquering the world itself.  As much as I would like to talk about Homo Sapiens an...
